Good question, in our last 2 events (and next event in on this Saturday) the fund it covered by third party, and we mentioned them as sponsor because they provide us venue, and all the facilities required like projector, sound system etc. (sometimes even they do catering for the participants). The idea of giving Swags and Stickers to participants is super cool :D And for getting funding as part of ASF small events, I will start a separate discussion on this in future (if required). > - grow the ALC community (several people said they were interested in > setting up other ALCs but so far none have.
